"Appalling disorders have occurred
here, the like of which this city of

bombed several places., two whole
blocks a house's were. set on fire, and
while the firemen fought the flames,
the battle waged in the, streets all
round. '
"Nine civillane 'were carried eut
tlead from this inferno, two of them
women. Many were kialecl in houses,
into which the rival factions pees:red
-them in fury. The bodies were re'scued
only in, time to prevent cremation.
"13ayouet charges by the military
were necessary to dispel the mobs
-which gathered to join in the battle.
The gunmen retreated to the Gros-
venor Road area, where a fresh battle
broke out, involving Lesson Street,
Norfolk Street, Grosvenor Place, Mc-
Donnell +Street and ether thorough-
fares, The Crown forces had a diffi-
cult task in suppresSing the gunmen.
Their concentrated fire reduced the
gunmen to silence for a while, but
later the rebels mounted , a machine
gun and Swept th0. Streets, causing
men, women tied „children to fly for
their lives," •
• More ,than thirt,Thouses were burn-
ed in the Milfielci and Peter's Hill
area of 13elfast on Thureclay. Only the
skeleton -walls of 13 houseeit' in Boyd

ently without casualties.

ASKED TiMEDIATE
IN IRISH AFFAIRS

A despatch from London says: -

10,000 British troops apart from his
"Ulster volunteers" and special con-
stabulary, he complains that his con-
trol of the situation is insufficient and
he vv'ante a free hand to use the troops
as he pleases.
He also put forward an explanation
as to why the TJleter Government is
unable to maintain law and order in
Belfast, but he apparently failed to
impress the Cabinet, which finally con-
sented to the use of British' troops
for the sake of the defence of Ulster,
but refuseci to allow him to use them
for operations across the border.
Among certain African tribes brides

Strange Cattle Foods.
It begins to look as though Cana-
dian cattle are going to have a more
varied and extraordinary diet in the
years to come than any other- cows in
the world. The Council of Scientific
Research at Ottawa, announces that
an excellent cattle feea !can be manu-
fatctured from sawdust. A good, deal
of the waste of the British Columbia
saw -mills will doubtless be utilized in
that way in future. It also states
that a plant Was recently established
in Canso where food for cows is be-
ing manufactured from fish waste.
As the losses by waste in the Nova
Scotian fisheries amount to a stagger-
ing figure every year,'esimilar, enter-
prises will doubtless spring up in other
towns besides Canso.

Provisional Moratorium to

Securities, to Soar.
A despatch from Paris says :-The
Reparations Commission have fully
approved the German reply to its ulti-
matum and definitely -decided to grant
Germany a provisional: moratorium for
the year -1922. The text of the Com-
mission's Tett er to Chancellor Wirth and
also tits decisions were issued after the
Commission had framed them at a ses-
sion lasting many hems. The decision
was unanimous, the French delegate
joining in it,-clespite the report of op-
position from a section of the Cham-
ber, which caused deep concern in
commission circles during the day.
A despatch from New York zays:-

The University,of Toronto is managed,

no dollar is wasted. The British Gov-
ernment received an adverse vote in
the House of Commons recently be-
cause the majority of the members ap-
parently thought that the attempt to
effect so-called economies in educa-
tion was 'ill'-'advised. The feeling of
the people of Canada, like that of
the people of Great Britain, may per-
haps be meet concisely expressed in
the following sentence from the
"Montreal Gazette": "Economy at all

Renewed interest in Ontario's Pro-

refers to questionsm
asked by son who
are interested in the University as, to
why the expenditure for maintenance
should be so much greater tha,n it was
seventeen years ago, before the re-
organization which took place in 1906.

state of affairs the Royal Commis-

enlarged government support and this
was forthcoming,. Then the Provincial
University began to expand and t to
offer the type of education d'ernandecl
by intelligent people.- To compare
maintenance expenditures of setven-
teen years ago with those ef the pre-
sent year is like comparing the food
cost of a delicate, starving child with
that of a vigorous, full-grown man.
